Description
Vintage Submariners are beautiful watches. The acrylic crystal on the reference 1680s casts a warm hue on the dial, and this effect is amplified when the markers and hands present a nice, even patina. Such is the case with this 1680, which is enhanced with the red 'Submariner' text. This all original Red Submariner is a great looking (and rapidly appreciating) watch.

Original case is stainless steel and in great condition with fat lugs. Dimensions are 40mm diameter by 15mm thick. High sitting acrylic crystal with cyclops. Original bezel. Crown screws down and operates perfectly. Case number is: 3788XXX, which dates the watch to 1973 production.

Original dial is exquisite. The patina on the hour markers, bezel pearl and original hands match to nice effect. Dial is all original and very clean.

Original movement is the automatic winding Rolex Caliber 1570 with 26 jewels, adjusted to temperature and 5 positions. This movement is a C.O.S.C. Certified Chronometer. As I have said many times before, in my opinion the Rolex 15XX calibers are the best-ever serial production automatic calibers from any manufacture.

The Oyster bracelet (reference 93150) has eleven links and will comfortably fit up to a 7.5 inch wrist.
